Specialist
Warragul North Primary School offers a range of opportunities across the school with specialist subjects including Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Indonesian and Physical Education. All students have access to digital technologies in their classrooms. All students also participate in a session at our school library weekly.
Visual Arts
The Visual Arts program at Warragul North Primary School is provided weekly by specialist teachers to all children from Foundation - Year 6. Visual Arts encourages children to explore 2D (e.g. painting, drawing, collage), 3D (e.g. sculpture, modelling, construction) and digital mediums whilst growing their creativity and helping them to make connections about the world.
Performing Arts
The Performing Arts program is provided weekly from Foundation to Year 6 by specialist teachers. The program incorporates Music, Dance and Drama. It aims to engage, inspire and enrich all students to reach their creative and expressive potential.
Physical Education
The Physical Education (PE) program at Warragul North Primary School provides a diverse range of activities to all children. All children from Foundation to Year Six are provided with weekly Physical Education Lessons provided by specialist teachers, alongside daily fitness games and activities provided by classroom teachers. Senior school children (Years Three to Six) also participate in weekly year level sporting competitions. Helping children to be happy and healthy by promoting physical activity is a priority at Warragul North Primary School. The regular Physical Education program is complemented by whole school events and sporting carnivals, as well as the interschool sporting calendar (e.g. district and regional events).
LOTE (Indonesian)
The LOTE program at Warragul North Primary School provides students an opportunity to learn and acquire communication in Indonesian.
Learning languages broadens students’ horizons about the personal, social, cultural and employment opportunities that are available in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. The interdependence of countries and communities requires people to negotiate experiences and meanings across languages and cultures. A bilingual or plurilingual capability is the norm in most parts of the world.
The Language’s curriculum aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure that students:
- communicate in the language they are learning
- understand the relationship between language, culture and learning
- develop intercultural capabilities
- understand themselves as communicators.
